MOUNTING LOCATIONS
At this time, review all information presented in the REGULATORY AND
SAFETY INFORMATION section of this manual (begins on page 6). A
transmitting antenna must be installed in accordance with the guidelines presented
in the REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION section. Use Table 1-1 on
page 8 and Figure 7-1 below as a guide for determining the best possible mounting
configuration/location in order to reduce human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy during transmit mode.
Antennas can be mounted in one of three (3) possible locations on the vehicle as described in the
following subsections. Figure 7-1 shows the recommended locations and antenna part numbers for each
location. Also, see Table 4-2 for additional information. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions when
mounting an antenna.
